Unique points on hands & feet are stimulated with acupuncture to stimulate the brain to send more blood flow via optic nerve to feed nutrients and oxygen to the eye. This stimulates dormant eye cells to wake up and become active again.

PUNCTUATION MAVEN Name: Tessa Reeg Title: Copy Editor Tell us about yourself. I was born and raised in Santa Barbara, and I graduated from UCSB this year with my degree in English. I’ve loved books ever since I can remember, and while I thought about being a writer, I realized that I found editing much more rewarding.

Which grammatical inaccuracies drive you crazy?

The one that really annoys me is when people type “alot.”

It’s not one word! Other than that, dangling modifiers or anything that makes the sentence unnecessarily confusing.

What do you like best about copy editing? It’s really satisfying. I love literature of any kind, so I love getting the chance to help make someone’s work better if I can.

Even if it’s just something as simple as fixing spelling mistakes, it definitely makes a difference in the quality of the piece.

PAUL WELLMAN

CONTENTS

What are your favorite things to do outside of work? I love reading; Harry Potter and A Song of Ice and Fire are some of my favorites. I also love playing video games, cuddling animals of any kind, and spending time with my friends.

NEWS BRIEFS WILDFIRE Face masks are again being sent out from Direct Relief’s Goleta warehouse to Northern and Southern California areas afflicted with autumn’s set of deadly wildfires. More than 150,000 N-95 masks have gone to the Bay Area and Butte, Ventura, and Los Angeles counties, said spokesperson Tony Morain, as well as asthma inhalers, flu vaccines, and hygiene supplies. The American Red Cross and the United Way in Greater Los Angeles and Northern California also have disaster relief funds; the nonprofits are requesting cash donations rather than goods, as it allows them to directly buy what survivors need.

Following in the footsteps of his father, Ernest H. Brooks Sr., Ernie Brooks II is starting a photography program in Santa Barbara, this time under the wing of UCSB’s Professional and Continuing Education (PaCE) program. Brooks Institute was renowned for its photographic artistry for about 70 years before closing in 2016 amid ownership changes. The new curriculum opens with two winter classes, Photo Boot Camp, taught by Christopher Broughton, and Visualizing Our Natural World, taught by Ralph Clevenger. More information is at ernestbrooksfoundation.org.

Starting in 2023, Santa Barbara Unified School District high school curriculum will require ethnic studies coursework as a graduation prerequisite.

The new requirement is in large part the result of three years of persistent organizing by the Santa Barbara Ethnic Studies Now! Coalition, a group including students, educators, parents, and other activists that have rallied to provide high school students with an education that better reflects multicultural backgrounds and experiences.

MEET AND GREET: Project manager Brad Hess (left) explains where the new police station might be built to movie director Andy Davis (right). If the Farmers Market is forced to move, Hess said, City Hall will make sure it has new digs.

Mark “Marky” Meza Jr.

A celebration of life will be held 11/18 for Mark “Marky” Meza Jr., the former Carpinteria High School student killed November 7 in the mass shooting at Borderline Bar & Grill in Thousand Oaks. Meza, who would have turned 21 on Monday, had recently started working at Borderline. The ceremony will take place at 11 a.m. on November 18 at the Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made out to the Mark “Marky” Meza Jr. Foundation and sent to 1924 Cliff Drive, Santa Barbara, CA 93109.

New Rules for Shared Transport purred by the recent scooter takeovers regionally, the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors is making moves toward regulating, permitting, and collecting fees for shared mobility devices, or SMDs, which include car-shares, bike-shares, and electric scooters. An ordinance amending county code was introduced last week.

The board unanimously voted to move the new language to this week’s administrative agenda for approval.

The ordinance creates the framework for further regulating and permitting such shared vehicles. “We’re trying to get ahead of the mess and come up with a structure ahead of time,” said 1st District Supervisor Das Williams, who expressed concern over the lack of regulation.

“The … situation invites companies to roll up, and they think it’s better to ask for forgiveness than permission because there is really no accountability,” said Williams last week when the new ordinance language was introduced.

The ordinance could pave the way for the county to participate in a region-wide bike-share program. UC Santa Barbara’s campus is currently serving as the pilot program for what is intended to be a larger effort. The South Coast Bike Share Feasibility Study in summer 2016, which identified UCSB as a promising starting point, was developed in partnership with the county, Santa Barbara Bicycle Coalition, the cities of Santa Barbara and Goleta, S.B. City College, Metropolitan Transit District, and S.B. County Association of Governments.

The campus has partnered with bike-share vendor CycleHop, and it currently has 600 bikes on campus and will have 1,200 this January. The first month of operation, CycleHop reported 2,812 total trips taken, with trips averaging 14 minutes. The adjacent City of Goleta will look at rental scooters on December 4.

ith its first quarterly deadline now in the rearview mirror, Santa Barbara County pocketed $1.8 million in cannabis taxes by October 31. That equates to $7.2 million annually, which is roughly on par with early estimates of what the new industry would generate. Given that much of the county’s first legal cannabis crop has only recently been harvested, much of what’s been produced has not yet been sold.

When those sales are taxed, Santa Barbara County’s de facto cannabis czar Dennis Bozanich expressed muted optimism that subsequent quarterly payments will prove more bountiful. To date, county law officers have conducted 10 enforcement actions, yanking up or weed-whacking $88 million worth of crop.

Bozanich noted that the actual number and acreage of permitted cannabis operations is less than initially projected. Many operators who had obtained temporary permits earlier in the year ultimately backed out, he suggested, when new state regulations went into effect this July. As of October, Santa Barbara County had 832 active licenses involving 196 acres. As of July, the same numbers were 1,286 licenses and 315

acres. Of the 96 actual operators, Bozanich told county supervisors, only 30 filed tax returns and made payments. The others either reported no taxable income or filed no reports at all.

Bozanich expressed frustration that to date no one has applied to open a cannabis testing lab in unincorporated Santa Barbara County. Supervisor Das Williams expressed interest in changing the county’s recently approved cannabis ordinance to make it easier for testing labs to secure approval.

Supervisor Steve Lavagnino expressed reservation about changing an ordinance when the ink was still wet. “I’ll find some other hill on which to die,” Lavagnino stated.

The City of Santa Barbara is likewise trolling for a testing lab, opening applications this week. Police spokesperson Anthony Wagner said he’s heard reports of poorquality cannabis being laced with fentanyl.

Currently, Santa Barbara growers and manufacturers have to send their products to Salinas and Cathedral City to get tested.

Wagner also indicated an interest in pursuing the unlicensed cannabis-home-delivery vendors, calling them “tax cheats.”

Activating for an Active Shooter

T

he United States grappled with yet another mass shooting on November 7, this time at the Borderline Bar & Grill in Thousand Oaks, where 13 people were killed, including busboy/food-runner Mark Meza, who grew up in Carpinteria and would have celebrated his 21st birthday on Monday. Law-enforcement agencies countrywide are continuing to host activeshooter safety trainings for the public and private businesses.

The Santa Barbara Police Department has provided these training seminars for more than 10 years to schools, churches, hospitals, government offices, and any local organizations that have received specific threats, said Lt. Shawn Hill. Each month, the department gets a number of requests, which have increased over the years, and puts on as many trainings as it can, based on officers’ availability. Otherwise, it recommends private security companies in the area that specialize in active-shooter seminars. “It would be too difficult to meet all the requests,” said Hill.

This summer, the department led a workshop at Center Stage Theater attended by a few dozen business owners, managers, and educators. Downtown Santa Barbara spokesperson Kate Schwab emphasized all offices, no matter how small, should have an

active shooter response plan in place. Police presenters stressed that Santa Barbara, despite its low crime rates, is not immune to such unpredictable violence. Hill said the department utilizes a variety of materials created by different law enforcement agencies in its trainings, including from sheriffs’ offices, the FBI, and the Department of Homeland Security. “They all offer valuable information,” said Hill. “They are complementary educational tools.” Two training videos they show most often are from the Los Angeles County Sheriff ’s Office and the ALERRT (Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training) Center at Texas State University. (See the videos at independent.com/surviveshooting.)

After the Borderline shooting, Ventura County Sheriff Geoff Dean spoke to the Washington Post. He said the Thousand Oaks bar survivors who were familiar with stories of other shooting rampages had scrambled for safety and shelter. “They ran out of back doors, they broke windows, they went through windows, they hid up in the attic, they hid in the bathroom,” Dean said.

“Unfortunately, our young people … have learned that this may happen. They think about that. Fortunately, it probably saved a lot of lives that they fled the scene so rapidly.”

Homes for the Hands That Feed Supervisors Weigh Housing Issues with Increase of H2A Workers

T

by Blanca Garcia he question of where to house more than 2,600 foreign nationals employed as farmworkers in the county was discussed once again at the Board of Supervisors meeting this Tuesday.

The workers have come to the United States through a visa program known as H2A, which is intended to help farmers who are experiencing labor shortages.

H2A workers are granted temporary visas that will require them to return to their home countries after a specific time period. In the last few years, the number of H2A workers has increased exponentially in the county from zero in 2012 to more than 2,500 in 2017.

Farmers, who are responsible for providing housing for these workers, have resorted to solutions that are contributing to the serious housing shortages in the county, especially in the city of Santa Maria. According to the Department of Labor, Santa Maria has more H2A workers than any city in California.

Some employers have bought or rented houses for their farmworkers. Others have purchased hotels and converted the rooms into bunkers. Workers are often crammed into these quarters, sometimes with five or six men living in one room. If the workers’ place of living does not have a kitchen, employers are responsible for providing three meals a day for workers at a cost.

Santa Maria residents are concerned that farmworkers will cause their property values to depreciate, and they don’t want H2A people moving in next door because “they’re not invested in the neighborhood,” as one Santa Maria resident put it at a town hall meeting recently. But resident concerns are only the icing on the housing shortage cake the county is experiencing. Supervisors worry that not acting to make agricultural dwellings easier to apply for could contribute to an overcrowded housing market and further exacerbate raising rents and congested living conditions. To date, the county has received zero applications from farmers to house workers on agriculturally zoned land. They attribute the number to the current permit requirements.

The board unanimously approved a conceptual motion

to loosen the permit requirements currently in place for farmworker housing on unincorporated agriculturally zoned land. The item was first introduced to the board at its October 9, 2018, meeting when the board voted 3-1-1 to begin streamlining the permit process. The item will return to the board again at its December 11 meeting for noticing purposes.

If the board moves forward once again at its December meeting, the number of employees allowed under certain permits will expand, making it easier to house more workers with fewer restrictions. Farmers will need a zoning clearance to house 1-9 farmworkers, a land-use permit for 10-24 workers, and a conditional-use permit to house 25 or more workers. Workers will have to be employed full time by the land operator but not necessarily work on the site where they will be housed, as is the condition now.

Supervisors are trying to steer clear of big bunk housing.

Farmworkers and farmworker advocates are vehemently opposed to housing in agricultural zones, which are often located at a significant distance from the city.

“It would be the worst thing that could happen,” said one farmworker who asked to remain anonymous. Workers worry about cramped living conditions, not enough toilets, and open showers. Their greatest concern is that they will no longer have access to food and markets. “Beans and rice and a sandwich are not going to give anyone enough energy,” said another worker who currently pays $85 a week to his employer for three meals a day. However, the food he and his coworkers receive is not very good, sometimes smells rotten, and is often not plentiful, he said, so they go into town to purchase additional food.

Farmers are also not ecstatic about having to build housing on their property. “We don’t know what the need is going to be three years from now,” said farmer George Adam. Fourth District Supervisor Peter Adam, George’s brother and a farmer himself, expressed concern over building housing only to have to tear it down in a couple of years.

While not crazy about housing, farmers insist that H2A is a crucial tool needed for the survival of county agriculture. “[The H2A program is] not something growers

SHELTER IN PLACE? Considering the more than 2,600 H2A farmworkers in Santa Barbara County, supervisors (including, pictured from left, Joan Hartmann, Das Williams, and Peter Adam) favored a conceptual motion to loosen permit requirements for farmworker housing on unincorporated agriculturally zoned land.

would do unless all other options were exhausted,” said Laura Brown, California Strawberry Commission’s regulatory affairs analyst.

Strawberries, the number-one crop in the county and one of the most labor intensive, has seen an increase in acreage and production, from 6,471 acres being harvested in 2011 to 8,327 acres in 2017. Strawberries are also the crop that most heavily relies on H2A workers. Of the 2,619 H2A workers in the county for 2018, 60 percent of them work strawberries.

Growership Association President Claire Wineman said that her members have been reporting a 15-20 percent labor shortage since 2012, costing them anywhere from 4 to 13 million per year in lost net revenue. “Increased wages have not alleviated the labor shortage,” said Wineman at a Santa Maria town hall meeting.

UC Davis Department of Agriculture and Resource Economics Professor Emeritus Philip Martin disputes the idea that there is a labor shortage. “There may be more complaints about farm labor—harder to find, too expensive, etc., but a real ‘shortage’ is not usually associated with expanding production & employment,” wrote Martin. The county saw an 11.47 percent increase in gross commodities from 2016 to 2017, and the average employment for agriculture in the county has increased from 17,000 employees in 2008 to 21,600 in 2017, according to the Employment Development Department.

Labor historian and UC Santa Barbara Professor Nelson Lichtenstein disagrees and attributes the worker shortage to low wages. In the 1970s, wages were equivalent to what would be $25 per hour today, he said. H2A workers currently are paid $13.18 an hour. Lichtenstein claims that H2A is contributing to the problem by keeping wages low.

“Yes, H2A could solve the labor shortage problem, but slave labor could solve it as well,” he said. “It’s economic coercion.”

Workers agreed that nothing will keep them from working. “We don’t care if we’re put on the street, if they feed us or don’t,” said Manuel, who asked his last name not be used. “We just can’t go back empty-handed,” he said. n “Necessity demands we endure.”

Homeless Housing Grant Raises a Ruckus

HOUSING

$6 Million on Table for 40 Homes at Carrillo and Castillo

T

by Nick Welsh

here may soon be 40 “tiny box” temporary homes installed at the commuter parking lot at the intersection of Castillo and Carrillo streets as part of an emergency plan to house the most service-resistant homeless people in Santa Barbara. But only if City Hall wins a state grant application the City Council just authorized by a 5-to-2 vote.

Should the city’s $6 million grant application be approved, the 40 trailers on wheels would be set up via an unprecedented collaboration between Cottage Hospital, Santa Barbara city police, the city Housing Authority, as well as Orange County–based group City Net, which specializes in street outreach work with homeless people.

The vote came after much hand-wringing by the mayor and councilmembers and after intense blowback by neighborhood residents who showed up to object at the utter lack of public notification. They’d only been notified of the grant application late this past Saturday afternoon, they complained, hardly enough time to vet so intense a land-use change with such intense ramifications for the neighborhood. Some neighbors went into graphic detail about homeless people in the area already, urinating in their bushes, sleeping in their yards, and getting into fights

in front of their homes. They also objected that the loss of commuter parking spaces would adversely affect area residents, who rely on the lot being available on weekends for visitors.

“It’s a great idea,” said one speaker, “just not here.” Anna Marie Gott, a frequent critic of City Hall, termed the short notice residents were given “disgusting” and “unconscionable.” Many residents agreed the proposal appeared promising, innovative, and even necessary; they just felt blindsided.

City Administrator Paul Casey acknowledged the public was given little notice and even less time to respond. City Hall, he said, was given an excruciatingly tight deadline by state officials administering a competition for $550 million in Housing Emergency Aid Project (HEAP) funds established last year to address California’s homelessness crisis. Santa Barbara County is eligible for $9 million, and City Hall is applying for $6 million of that.

Grant conditions were relayed to applicants only on October 12; the deadline for applications is November 16. City staff scrambled to put together what Casey called “a great proposal,” in extremely short order. Chronic homelessness, he said, was clearly one of the most urgent needs in the community. The $6 million, he said, would help meet it. Typically,

he added, neither the council nor the public is notified of grant applications. An exception was made because of the size and impact of the project envisioned.

Mayor Cathy Murillo led the charge to approve the grant application, recounting the daily complaints she hears about the size and seriousness of Santa Barbara’s homelessness problem. If the council did not approve the grant, the city would lose out on millions of dollars of homelessness WATCHFUL: The city’s quickly moving plan to install 40 “tiny box” houses for downtown homeless people has riled neighbors of the relief funding, she said.

Political Postmortem

A Few Mysteries Remain in a Statewide Election That Played Out Mostly to Form

HOUSE MATTERS: Revisionist talking

heads revised because of a crucial fact too often neglected on election night, when competition for breathless pronouncements, memorable tweets, and blisteringhot takes is ferocious: It ain’t over until, um, the votes get counted.

Exhibit A: California, where more than one-fourth of nearly 13 million votes cast —3.6 million ballots —have yet to be tallied, following recent-year state election reforms authorizing same-day registration and acceptance of mail-ins postmarked as late as midnight on Election Day. In this context, results of several key House races declared done deals on November 6 either shifted or still remain unclear.

At first, just one of six congressional districts featuring high-profile partisan battles (Independent Nov. 1) was called for the Dems — the Orange/San Diego counties 49th district, where environmental attorney Mike Levin prevailed in a contest for a previously Republican open seat.

Since then, three more Democrats in California battleground districts have claimed victory: homeless advocate Katie Hill over incumbent Steve Knight in the nearby 25th CD; businessman Harley Rouda over 15-term Dana Rohrabacher, R-Moscow, in the 48th; and venture capitalist Josh Harder over Jeff Denham in San Joaquin Valley’s 10th.

In two other closely watched campaigns in Orange County — where 300,000 ballots remain to be counted — Democrats keep creeping closer: University professor Katie Porter trails GOP incumbent Mimi Walters by less than one percent as counting continues, while Gil Cisneros, a selffunding Democratic millionaire, trails by a more daunting 1.2 percent against Republican Young Kim.

t first glance, Election Night in America Continued sounds like an SNL spoof of cable news.

In fact, it’s the actual name of a program aired by CNN this week, a bid to correct and update instant analysis narratives that big-bucks bloviators peddled on Election Night.

Chief among them: Whether the Democratic capture of the House of Representatives is a big enough win to call a “blue wave,” which would demonstrate atypical midterm opposition and revulsion to an opposing-party president.

The initial consensus of cable’s pundit class seemed to be “meh,” as they reported that while Dems won more than the necessary 23 seats, it wasn’t enough for wave status. Within days, however, it was clear that more were breaking their way — enough perhaps to bring their total as high as 40, a number not reached since the 1974 Watergate election.

B L AC K F R I DAY

Governor-elect Gavin Newsom GOLDEN STATERS: Amid the Demo-

crats’ expected domination of state races, two constitutional offices still hung in the balance as party-endorsed candidates were overcoming the early leads of political outsiders.

Steve Poizner, seeking to become Insurance Commissioner as the first nonpartisan independent in state history, saw his early advantage evaporate against termedout lawmaker Ricardo Lara, who now holds a significant edge.

And in the nonpartisan campaign for State Superintendent of Public Instruction, improbably the year’s highest spending race, charter school advocate Marshall Tuck slowly circled the drain, as teachers union favorite and termed-out assemblymember Tony Thurmond kept gaining with more votes from L.A. County — where nearly one million remain uncounted — to erase Tuck’s initial lead.

TO THE SURPRISE OF NO ONE: From

Yreka to San Ysidro, Democrats otherwise stomped candidates carrying the badly damaged California Republican Party banner.

As Dems easily won the six other constitutional offices, and Dianne Feinstein was elected to yet another U.S. Senate term after an all-Dem runoff, they were poised to score supermajorities in both the state Senate and the Assembly, making it easier for Governor-elect Gavin Newsom and free-spending brethren to raise taxes.

So great is Democratic hegemony that perhaps the most surprising story that emerged on Election Day was historic: Newsom is the first member of his party to succeed a fellow Democrat as governor in more than 130 years.

The last guy to achieve the feat was Washington Bartlett, an ex-newspaper publisher who remains the only Jewish governor in California history, and who replaced fellow Dem and celebrated Union General George Stoneman after the election of 1886.

And, no, we didn’t cover that one.

Elva Verona Jorgensen 08/08/21-06/11/18

Elva was born in 1921 to Danish parents, Jens and Jenny Husted in Sac City, Iowa and then in 1949 she married a Danish man Pete Jorgensen from Copenhagen, Denmark.

There is a baby picture of Elva sitting inside a suitcase in front of the family farmhouse. It seemed to predict her future days of living in different places around the United States and the world - Brooklyn, Long Island, Chicago, Phoenix, Santa Barbara as well as Venezuela and Sicily. Elva didn’t travel as a tourist with a “bucket list”.

Instead she travelled with an open mind for other people, and a deep appreciation of places that other people called “home”. She had her passport, her “lucky 1921 silver dollar” and an open heart, and she embraced all that she encountered in the places she lived and visited. Whether she was cooking together in other people’s kitchens, or strolling to people’s favorite places, she really knew how to be in the moment with people. In her special way, her delight with the simple life was contagious to those who were with her.

In all that she did, Elva embraced the Danish word “Hygge”. Hygge is a word used to describe a cozy, contentment and well being through enjoying the simple things in life. She would say “it is the little things that make each day special”, and she did just that every moment. She would cut fresh roses from the garden daily and put them on the dining room table. She welcomed friends and family into the Jorgensen home to eat, laugh and visit together.

She cooked delicious food in her kitchen and prepared extra to share. Visitors never felt that they had come by at the wrong time with Elva. She had a gift for making people feel at ease in her presence and that there was no other place she would rather be than with them at that moment, listening to what was on their mind.

Elva made friends easily, but she was also very content in her own company and had a peaceful way about her. Her kind ways were a constant with her, and there was not an expectation for something in return. She was grateful each and every day for life, family and friends. One might describe Elva as an old soul – somebody who had a lot of wisdom about people, life and places, and who knew herself well. She would share her wisdom and loving ways when 18

life’s big events were unrolling and when times of change, confusion, crisis and celebration were at hand.

We are deeply grateful to have shared time with such a wonderful mother, and as our father Pete Jorgensen used to always say about her, “your Mother is so beautiful inside and out”, and as our brother, Paul Jorgensen would say, “She is the real deal”.

Elva Jorgensen is predeceased by her husband, Pete Jorgensen, and son, Paul Jorgensen. She is survived by daughters Linda Jorgensen and Anita Jorgensen Peca (John Peca) and grandson Jay Jorgensen (Deana Jorgensen) and great granddaughters, Jessica, Kaila and Elizabeth Jorgensen. A private memorial service has been planned. If you wish to make donations in her memory, please consider Friendship Center or Hospice or to your favorite charity.

Joanna Morgan

Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Joanna peacefully passed away at home October 20, 2018 at 230pm.

Central Coast Hospice’s professional and compassionate care helped me help Joanna with grace, dignity and most importantly without pain.

The curtain fell far too soon on Joanna who will always remain our brightest star!

Joanna was born in Ohio to Phillip & Ruth Rossman and the family moved to Los Angeles in 1949. She went to UCLA, ultimately graduating from Columbia University with a degree in Dental Hygiene. She met her first husband, Steve Cetrulo while at Columbia and that marriage produced two children, Kristi and Giancarlo.

Joanna had a life-long love for the Rocky Mountain west.

In addition to living on the Taos Pueblo with her first husband, Joanna moved and lived in Aspen, Colorado from 1980-1985 where she worked as a hypnotherapist and even a bouncer/door person at Andre's. Joanna was a part of a group of women hikers who called themselves the "Wonder Women."

Eventually, Joanna moved to Santa Barbara in 1985 where Joanna met Stan in Dr. Annette Goodheart’s Laughing and Hugging Class at the Schott Center 32 years ago. This class changed their lives and eventually Joanna and Stan were married in 1989. They made a point of laughing and hugging every day resulting in a successful loving marriage.

While Joanna and Stan had successful careers as a real estate team, Joanna had another calling and returned to school at Pacifica Graduate Institute for a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology. Her uncanny ability to listen brought her much success and loyalty from her client base during her years in private practice.

Joanna was true peacemaker.

As I mentioned, she was a gifted listener and if there was choice between being right and being happy, she would always choose the latter. Her loving nature, striking beauty and 10,000watt smile would not only light up the room but would infect those around her with the same light-laughing- spirit.

Joanna was an artist at heart: whether it was stained glass, photography or interior decorating, her eye for style, color and design always shone through. One of Joanna’s proudest accomplishments, was Casa del Alma, the house that she and Stan purchased and remodeled in San Miguel de

Allende, GTO Mexico nearly 15 years ago. Joanna worked very hard with local artists, artisans, and designers to create a peaceful and vibrant home and brought that same feeling back to the house in Santa Barbara.

Joanna’s extensive travel included a 6-week study tour of Europe, Scandinavia, Poland, Russia and E. Germany back in the 1960’s. Then 4 months traveling western Europe in the 1980’s. 2 sailing trips with husband Captain Stan at the helm in the BVI’s and in Tonga in the South Pacific. Paris and the French Alps, a few different Cruises, Italy a few times, Spain, Cuba, Western Canada, Alaska, Mexico and South America including Peru, Chile, Argentina and down to Ushuaia Tiera del Fuego.

Joanna is survived by her husband of 29 years, Stan Krome, her children Kristi & Cole Burrows, Gian & Brenda Cetrulo and their 2 grandkids Sirus and Sophia.

The family wishes to thank all who gave their support through this brief but difficult time. Diane, Beverly, RJ, Jan, Fred, Gale, Stephen, J’Nelle, Rachel, Sonja, and Arnie.

Joanna asked, that if you so desire, that ALL donations be made in her name to The Santa Barbara Zoo Donations (https://sbzoo. pivvit.com/general-donations), an organization which she passionately supported.

Linda Kay Raney

Linda Kay Raney, a Santa Barbara resident for more than 35 years, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by loved ones on Wednesday, November 7th. She was 71 years old.

Linda earned Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees from UC Santa Barbara and was a member of UCSB Administrative Services in Cheadle Hall for 24 years. She was also a licensed Marriage Family Therapist in Santa Barbara for over 30 years.

Linda was a loving and dedicated mother; a thoughtful, kindhearted, and generous friend; and a strong, compassionate, and wise counselor. She was known for being a voracious reader, a passionate gardener, and for her extraordinary talent in decorating and crafting. She was a great friend to many. Her passing will be a loss to us all but her memory will be in our hearts forever.She is survived by her two sons David and Aaron, her sister Karen Dorrian, and brother Richard Elioff.

If you wish to honor Linda Raney you can make a small donation to a local Santa Barbara charity in her name.

She cultivated a number of wonderful friendships, and was a beloved aunt and great-aunt. She travelled widely throughout the world, and both collected and made art, becoming an accomplished sculptor.

She will be greatly missed by her many friends and relatives. She is survived by her German nieces and nephews and several grandnieces and grandnephews.

05/16/41-10/10/18

June Smith, age 92, passed away at Vista Del Monte in Santa Barbara, California on Friday, November 9, 2018.

June was born on May 20, 1926 in Berkeley, California to Harry and Lillian Dick Cuff. Her younger brother, Lester Cuff, passed away on April 18, 2016. June was valedictorian of her class at Fremont High and graduated from the University of California, Berkeley with a Bachelor of Arts degree in mathematics and art. While studying at Cal, she met Howard Smith who she married on February 6, 1948.

June and Howard had three children and lived in Lafayette, California. June was active in scouts, PTA and the American Association of University Women.

In 1968 the Smith family moved to Hinsdale, Illinois where June continued her service with the Girl Scouts and was also active

It is with great sadness that the family of David Lewis Thoreson, longtime resident and personality of Santa Barbara, announces his passing in Lynchburg, Virginia, on October 10, 2018. Dave and his wife Janie had moved to Lynchburg in 2008. Dave was a beloved physical education teacher at La Colina Junior High School for 38 years where he was renowned for his enthusiasm, humor and zany approach to life circumstances.

David was born in Valley City, North Dakota on May 16, 1941. His parents moved the family to California where Dave spent his early years in the Oceanside-Carlsbad area. He loved people and described those years almost like a Huckleberry Finn adventure. Dave never met a stranger he couldn’t find some commonality with.

Dave was a talented athlete and

INDEPENDENT.COM

earned a track and field scholar scholarship to Westmont College. Dave competed in the Decathlon where he was nationally ranked for many years and won the bronze medal in the 1967 Pan American Games.

His inventive mind developed the Thoreson Fitness Obstacle course which can still be found at several local schools, as well as an exercise bike for disabled people - the Hardy walker. He also came up with the idea of the 30 Minute Decathlon – a Herculean event to finish even for Olympic level athletes and not often attempted - but just crazy enough that it caught on as a right of passage for Decathletes.

Dave’s score of 6233 was a World Record for several years. Dave also performed stunt work in several Disney movies.

Dave is usually remembered with a smile and a humorous tale by all who came in contact with him, including those he competed against in track.

But he was probably best known in Santa Barbara as “Mr. Thoreson” to the many thousands of La Colina Junior High students who enjoyed his unconventionality, such as running up the sides of walls, jumping over seemingly too high objects, and his ability to motivate students to push themselves beyond what they believed they were able to do physically.

David was an institution at La Colina. Even in retirement it was not uncommon, when walking around the Santa Barbara area with Dave, for adults - sometimes with children of their own - to hail Dave with a big smile and, “Hey Mr Thoreson. Do you remember me?”

To which Dave always answered, “Of course I do!”

Dave is lovingly remembered by his wife, Janie, of 43 years, and his children, Ozzie Thoreson, Mike Patton, Lisa Patton (deceased), Tamara Orozco, Tye Thoreson, Tiffany Wallace, and seven grandchildren and his siblings, Cheryl Johnson, Jack Thoreson, and all their spouses and kids.

But especially Dave “Mr Thoreson” will be remembered by the kids - kids young and old - because Dave was always a kid at heart.

THE HISTORIC MAUSOLEUM at Mission Santa Barbara

50 YEARS, ONE PURPOSE: INNOVATING LEGAL EDUCATION A lot has changed since 1969. But our mission to provide accessible, affordable, and quality legal education has not. Over the past 50 years, we’ve put law degrees within reach for many who thought it may never be possible.

Surrounded by 200-year-old sandstone walls clad with elegant marble and handcrafted detailing, The Historic Mausoleum features a magnificent columbarium with niche spaces for cremated remains.

This peaceful, sacred space in the heart of the Mission’s historic cemetery offers a truly exquisite resting place of reverence, dignity and hope to all people of goodwill in our community and beyond.

Now, we’re taking the lead in redefining what it means to go to law school in the 21st century with traditional, online, and hybrid options.

hen 13 were killed in Thousand Oaks on November 7, the Gun Violence Archive had documented 307 mass shootings in 2018, which resulted in 502 deaths—or, almost as many mass shootings in the U.S. as days in 2018.

Politics should be a process of prioritizing issues that present the greatest threat to humans and our civil liberties.

A sickness pervades our country that yields episodic attention to the violence but no real attempt at solutions. It’s not an easy problem to fix. There’s the gun factor. There’s the mental health factor.

This scourge isn’t just costing lives; it’s eroding a sense of freedom in the land of the free. We as a country are increasingly fearful of going to school, worshiping, attending a concert, dancing at a nightclub … leaving the house.

Rather than pushing solutions from our tribal political trenches, let’s take off our party badges and get to work. Of the 30 leading causes of death in the United States, gun violence is the least researched or funded. Gun violence needs to be recognized as a public health epidemic with sufficient funding, research, and action.

We also need to remove the National Rifle Association as the discussion moderator by fixing campaign finance laws and increasing transparency. The NRA has handcuffed too many decision-makers, rendering them incapable of representing our best interests.

(Note: Taking the NRA out of the discussion does not take away guns.)

Regardless of our political affiliations, it’s safe to say we have common ground: This is a growing problem — and we don’t want to see our children gunned down. Let’s start from there.

egarding the contest between two longestablished and popular entities: Spencer Adams Park (aka Louis Lowry Davis Center) and the Farmers Market, the history of the park includes City Ordinance #2534 (dated 1936 or 1937): “said land has been used openly and continuously for public park and recreation purposes for approximately 18 years … Santa Barbara is willing and desirous that said lands shall continue to be used for public park and recreation purposes.” Spencer Adams was a philanthropist who financed the clubhouse for the lawn bowling club in 1956, with the condition that the park would bear his name.

City parks are vital publicly owned open spaces that benefit residents’ well-being. It would seem to be much more difficult and costly to replace a park than to move the market to, say, Parking Lot 11 or even the lot at Spencer Adams. It would cost over half a million dollars to replace the two bowling greens, let alone acquire land and build a new clubhouse. Moving the Farmers Market seems to incur negligible cost.

S.B. Public Library Digitizes More than

2,500 Historic Images

By Tyler Hayden PHOTOS COURTESY

SANTA BARBARA LIBRARY Caption information provided by John Woodward and Lisa Lunsford

A

treasure trove of rare photographs chronicling Santa Barbara’s earliest days has been liberated from a corner of the Central Library archive room and uploaded to a public website for all to admire and explore. “These photographs have been locked away in a file cabinet for over 60 years,” said Library Director Jessica Cadiente.

“By digitizing them and making the images available online for free, we have not only preserved critical pieces of Santa Barbara history; we have made it available to anyone anywhere in the world.”

The collection of 2,500 or so images — dating all the way back to the first years of photography in the mid-1800s, when Ulysses S. Grant was president and State Street was a muddy thoroughfare of horses and carriages — depicts all corners of Santa Barbara life through the turn of the century. There are snapshots of Franciscan friars and De la Guerra descendants, the first Southern Pacific train and the old Potter Hotel, Fiesta celebrations and earthquake destruction.

Cover Story Matais Reyes was a woodcutter and a familiar character around Santa Barbara in the 1880s. He made his living by gathering firewood in the foothills and bringing it to town on his burros.

From left to right, historian John Woodward, librarian Jace Turner, and digital specialist Lisa Lunsford teamed up to make Edson Smith’s one-of-akind photo collection available to everyone. The original prints will remain in safekeeping and can be viewed by special appointment only.

The main building blocks of the series came from a man named Edson Ashley Smith. Born in 1887 along the waterfront near where Stearns Wharf now stands, Smith was the son of county undersheriff Rufus Dana Smith. After an early career as a bookkeeper for the United Electric Gas & Power Company, Edson Smith served as secretary of the Santa Barbara Club for 43 years. Throughout his lifetime, he amassed a collection of historic photographs, taking special pride in images of the city’s original adobes, construction of the downtown Fountain Saloon, and of a poll tax receipt that proved Richard Jenkins paid county treasurer R. Carrillo three dollars in 1857 for the right to vote.

Smith married and had a daughter, and upon his death in 1947, he willed his photography collection to Santa Barbara College (UCSB’s precursor), which later gave it to the library. Little else is known about the man, though his News-Press obituary states, “Santa Barbara Club members invariably found him considerable, helpful, and friendly.”

For the next six decades, Smith’s collection — along with hundreds of additional photos that had been donated to the library over the years — sat squirreled away, known only to staff and a handful of area historians. That is, until a fateful conversa-

tion took place in 2015 between Community Relations Librarian Jace Turner and art gallery owner Frank Goss. Turner expressed the library’s longstanding desire to digitize the images, to which Goss suggested he connect with John Woodward, a Santa Barbara attorney and historian with a vast photography collection of his own. The two met and brought on digital expert Lisa Lunsford to round out the team.

Woodward, a protégé of famed preservationist Pearl Chase, is paying for the project with a grant through the library foundation. Once it’s completed, he’ll support a new effort to catalog and preserve the library’s own archives, some of which recount the Faulkner Gallery’s opening in 1930. At that time, it was the only art gallery between Los Angeles and San Francisco and hosted the works of Picasso, Matisse, and Klee alongside performances by the London String Quartet. Reviews of the time slammed Picasso and called for more shows by Santa Barbara landscape painter Lockwood de Forest.

The process of sorting and scanning each individual photograph is tedious, admits Lunsford, but she enjoys the work. She’s carried out similar projects for the Mission Archive and the Maritime

The Potter Hotel on West Cabrillo Boulevard, seen here shortly after it was completed in 1903, attracted countless visitors to Santa Barbara until it was destroyed by fire on April 13, 1921.

Cover Story The greatest peacetime tragedy for the U.S. Navy occurred on September 8, 1923, when seven destroyers ran aground due to a navigational error at Honda Point near Lompoc. All the ships and 23 sailors were lost.

A giant grapevine in Carpinteria (ca. 1910) The original Hotel Californian on lower State Street — recently reopened at the same location — had been open only four days before the building was heavily damaged in the earthquake of June 29, 1925.

A young girl, name unknown, sits atop a burro in front of the Anastacio Carrillo Adobe on January 31, 1889.

Museum and has developed a preternatural ability to identify buildings and faces, often correcting captions penciled on the back of the dusty, curling pieces of paper.

Last Thursday, she and Woodward sat hunched with magnifying glasses over a table spread with black and white pictures, gently debating but ultimately agreeing upon a few remaining details. “Getting the correct information is an ongoing process,” said Woodward. “It’s not 100 percent, but if we get 95 percent, I’m thrilled.” Crowd-sourced tips through the online portal will also help.

Among the collection’s many jewels are original works by Santa Barbara’s first resident photographers, E.J. Hayward and Henry Muzzall, who came from Indiana in the 1870s. They set up their studio in downtown’s tallest structure, the clock building, and captured panoramas of what was then an airy, pastoral community.

They also took images of the Mission with their stereo camera that produced two side-by-side photos from slightly different angles that would then be viewed with a special stereoscope. The technology didn’t yet exist to print photographs in magazines or books, so these images would have been looked at in awe in parlors across the country. Only about 30 percent of the collection’s photographers are known, their names stamped directly onto the negatives.

Now that the collection is publicly accessible, Turner hopes others will be inspired to let the library digitize their photos of historic merit. The hard copies probably won’t live there permanently, he said, noting the library isn’t set up for longterm, climate-controlled storage. But while Lunsford with her technical skill and Woodward with his unmatched knowledge

are both available, it’s the perfect time to do the preservation work. They’re also on the lookout for 150 missing photos that were originally part of a 450-shot series. “If they’re around, they’re in somebody’s closet,” said Woodward.

Already, the website has generated attention, even overseas.

The Salvatore Ferragamo Museum in Italy, dedicated to the legacy of the revered shoe designer, recently contacted the library because it had found photographs of Ferragamo’s first shoe store at 1033 State Street and wanted to use them for an upcoming exhibit. “We said of course! They’re all public, and they’re all free,” said Turner. “It was really neat.” Then just this week, Turner received a call from a family up in San Francisco.

They’d also seen the site and wanted to donate prints of landscape designs by a Dutch relative hired by some of Montecito’s first landowners. “This is what it’s all about,” said Turner.

Beyond the collection’s wow factor, Turner went on, is its powerful reflection of Santa Barbara’s aesthetic heritage. It highlights what our region’s historians fight so hard to preserve, and it proves the city’s enduring appeal is no accident.

“Part of the goal of this project is to reflect the reasons why Santa Barbara looks the way it looks,” Turner said. “There’s a reason why people want to live here, and I think it’s important for people of the younger generation to understand there’s a philosophy to that. It was very deliberate, very planned.”

When it comes to politics, the deep story is more powerful than facts, logic, and evidence. environmental safeguards and decades of toxic waste dumped by giant petrochemical plants that dominate the state’s economy and politics. How was it possible, Hochschild wondered, for citizens to want a clean environment yet support a political movement that advocated abolishing the Environmental Protection Agency?

What Hochschild learned from the people she interviewed was the “deep story,” which is best described as felt truth about the way things are. When it comes to politics, the deep story is more powerful than facts, logic, and evidence. The deep story is about emotion, and when your deep story tells you that the federal government is a financial sinkhole that gives your tax money to the undeserving, you can overlook the fact that half of your state’s budget comes from that same federal government. If you’re a white man in the South, you can draw a line from the 1860s to the 1960s and hold the view that for a hundred years you’ve lost ground to women, minorities, and immigrants.

It’s difficult for a political liberal to scale the empathy wall and experience what the world feels like to a political conservative, and vice versa, but if the deep ideological divisions in the United States are to be healed, this must happen. In Strangers in Their Own Land, Arlie Russell Hochschild shows us how to get over the wall and return with a deeper understanding.

EDEN EXTRACTS Vape Cartridges

pretty talkative, energetic way. I never really felt the need to venture beyond that.

Neither was at all harsh on the lungs — credit the side vents, I guess — so long as I inhaled slowly and steadily. That’s probably because the R&D-minded company — founded by Shareef El-Sissi, the CFO of the Garden of Eden store in Hayward — tries its hardest to remove as much plant material from its oils as possible. That results in a nearly clear cart fluid rather than the gooey green and gold stuff you find in other vapes. You can also see into the cart, so you know when to reorder.

oming from a mostly dried-cannabis-flower background, I’m always cautious to step too eagerly into the vape world, where suspicions persist about what those mysterious oils are actually putting into your lungs. So while we all wait for that science to come down the pipes as marijuana goes further mainstream, I gauge each device’s value on how harsh it isn’t when inhaling and then how much effect each hit delivers.

The folks at Eden Extracts nailed that combination in their easy-to-use, well-dosed THC delivery system. Their cartridges, or “carts,” as they’re called — of which I tried the Diablo OG and the Blue Dream — offer a smooth toking experience that’s not going to knock you out, unless you want to go that way.

Fired up on Eden Extracts’ Diamond Line battery, which holds a charge for an impressively long time, the OG was the most mellow — one medium hit provided stress relief and overall niceness but not a lot of confusing head change; add one or two more hits to get there. The Blue Dream was a bit more intense — one hit certainly got me stoned, but in a

Five years before Donald Trump’s bid for the White House, Hochschild was doing research in Lake Charles, Louisiana, a hotbed of support for the Tea Party. Hochschild chose Lake Charles, in Calcasieu Parish, because she wanted to understand what she calls a keyhole issue: environmental pollution.

hat was once a lumberjack’s favorite sport is now taking the country by storm, or rather, by river.

Last weekend, students from UCSB claimed both the men’s and women’s championships at the Key Log Rolling Collegiate Tournament Series hosted by UCLA. Sixteen participants from UCSB, UCLA, and CSU Northridge competed. Willem Geier and Iris Wu came out on top.

The first collegiate logrolling tournaments — one of which was hosted by UCSB — took place last year, and since then, the sport has only grown in popularity. Two competitors go head-to-head, standing on opposite ends of a log and spinning it with their feet at different speeds and directions until one of them is thrown off.

The sport took root in America in the 1800s, when mass amounts of lumber were needed to build the country’s expanding cities. Rivers provided natural transportation for the wood, and men were hired to prevent jams. To avoid falling, workers learned to roll the logs, soon competing with each other to see who could stay on top the longest.

From there, logrolling was passed down through the generations.

Until 1981, competitive rollers used wooden logs and wore spiked shoes to prevent slipping. But this caused wood-chip problems for the pools where tournaments were held. Fortunately, seven-time logrolling champion Judy Scheer Hoeschler solved that problem by carpeting the logs, but the issue of acquiring and transporting a 500-pound cedar log remained.

Years later, Hoeschler’s daughter, Abby Hoeschler Delaney, developed the Key Log, a 65-pound synthetic product that spins, reacts, and floats just like the real thing. Together, the Hoeschlers cofounded the company Key Log Rolling, and the sport spread to nine countries, 150 colleges, and more than 500 camps, clubs, and military bases around the United States.

According to UCSB champ Geier, “The synthetic log has really changed the sport.” He and the other competitors lug theirs every Friday to the campus’s Recreation Center to practice.

The UCLA tournament is part of a long-term plan to take logrolling to the Olympics someday. In 2017, the United States Aquatic Log Rolling Organization was established as the sanctioning body, creating a set of rules and standards. Key Log Rolling plans to hold the first United States championships in 2019.

PAVEMENT POUNDING

F

or two years, I’ve been suffering from a strange, specific feeling: I’m in a hole in the ground and steamy manure is being shoveled on top of me as I lie there holding my breath.

I’d been counting on the midterm elections to offer sweet relief from this slow-death-by-dung sensation. But donating $10 to distant campaigns and sharing social media posts about voter rights weren’t helping me shake that feeling of being powerless over my own fate — of having to shut my eyes tight and just … acclimate to the aroma of excrement.

So when a friend asked if I would canvass door-to-door for a Democratic candidate in a tight congressional race two days before the election, I jumped at the chance to do something that might actually have an impact. I’ve never canvassed before, and in fact I loathe anyone coming to my door uninvited. But if I’ve learned anything since Election Day 2016, it’s that democracy is a full-contact sport. So I suited up in sunscreen and sneakers and got out the gosh-dang vote.

We had 30 minutes of training (it’s illegal to leave literature in mailboxes and a waste of time to engage in arguments) before being sent out in pairs to our assigned neighborhoods.

It was rattlingly awkward for the first couple of houses, but then you find your groove.

I enjoyed telling people that our candidate supports women’s reproductive rights, more funding for schools, and protecting social security — but that I personally just want to hamstring the sociopath who struts through our West Wing dreaming up ways to romance the Klan (I’m paraphrasing).

by Starshine My husband and I “dropped lit” or spoke to voters at 109 houses over five hours in 85-degree heat. And we learned so much along email: starshine@roshell.com the way:

ROSHELL

(1) Despite the deluge of proud-voter posts on your social media feeds, many people don’t give a flying fascist about elections. Most folks I spoke to didn’t realize Election Day was 48 hours away … and that their polling place was the school they could literally see from their front door.

(2) You would not believe how much political campaigns know about you before they approach your door. We used an app that told us the name, age, party preference, voting frequency, and polling place of the residents of every house on every block in any neighborhood.

Canvassers might not tell you they know all that because they don’t want to freak you out, but they know it.

(3) “No Solicitors” signs are a joke. Our trainer told us to ignore them because we weren’t selling anything and we had every right to communicate with voters. Astoundingly, no one with a “No Solicitors” sign grumbled at me for bypassing it.

(4) Video doorbells are campaign kryptonite. Fact: Anyone who sees you and your “Vote!” T-shirt and clipboard before they open the door will not open the door. I never spoke to a single person at a house where I had to push a Ring™ video-camera doorbell and stand there uncomfortably while they assessed me from within. *shiver* Another volunteer was nearly whacked with a broom on her route, but we found most folks friendly and most conversations fascinating, from the young woman with a heart transplant who was concerned about preexisting conditions to the young man — a first-time voter — who wanted to talk through his feelings on abortion. My favorite encounter was a nonvoter: a Mexican gentleman excited about taking his citizenship test next week so he could start voting to “put checks and balances back in the government.”

I bruised my knuckle from knocking so much, I sweat through my sweat-proof deodorant, and I nearly peed my pants thanks to lunging guard dogs who clearly mistook me for a Republican. But I went home feeling more powerful — and more peaceful — than I had in 24 feculent months.

And when our candidate won her seat in the House of Representatives, I finally clambered out of my mental manure pit and inhaled the sweet, scat-free scent … of hope.

ate School, an exclusive private school situated at the end of an uphill gated road, would seem to be a world apart from the surrounding community of Carpinteria.

Its football team competes with similar prep schools in the unique 8-man division. But the Rams can trace their roots directly to the Carpinteria High Warriors.

Ben Soto, Cate’s head football coach, played for the Warriors in the early 1970s. A prominently displayed photo in Soto’s office shows him with two of his Carpinteria coaches, Mike Warren and Lou Panizzon.

“They are very influential people in my life,” Soto said. He played football under Warren and baseball under Panizzon, who later became head football coach. “Panizzon hired me to help out, one thing led to another, and here I am,” Soto said. “What those guys taught me is what I’m doing here.”

Soto, 63, went up the hill to become Cate’s baseball coach more than 30 years ago. He took the reins of the football program at its inception in 2005.

“We went 3-3 the first year,” he said. “A lot of people came up to me: ‘How did you win your first year of 8-man?’ We have good athletes. Everybody’s playing something.”

The Rams had perhaps their greatest season come to an end Monday. They were 9-0 and ranked No. 1 in the state, but in a CIF quarterfinal game that was interrupted by smoke from the Southern California fires, they lost to Windward of Los Angeles, 31-27. The game, originally scheduled for Friday, was postponed to Saturday, and then it was suspended at halftime with Windward leading at home, 16-13. The second half was played at Newport Beach on Monday, and the Rams were unable to complete a comeback.

A week earlier, in a first-round playoff game under the lights at Carpinteria High, the Rams routed Desert Christian, 89-15, even though Soto did everything in his power not to run up the score.

Cate’s success stems from Soto’s old-school coaching style that is embraced by the young men who play for him.

“I love him to death,” said Jack Deardorff, the Rams’ sensational senior quarterback. “I have him for baseball and football. I couldn’t ask for a better leader. He teaches life lessons

by JOHN ZANT

through sports.” Deardorff also plays on the soccer team.

Every Cate student is required to play more than one sport.

“I’m not one to say you’ll be a better football player if all you do is football,” Soto said. “You can learn from all different kinds of sports. We have everything from rock climbing to canoeing to bike riding, as well as major team sports.”

Deardorff said, “I never played tackle before coming here.

I didn’t think I could play quarterback because I’m so small [58, 155 pounds], but growing up playing baseball I could throw pretty well.” He also proved to be a clever runner, weaving his way through 8-man defenses. He accounted for 37 touchdowns: 21 rushing and 16 passing.

After routinely amassing impressive statistics, Deardorff was nominated throughout the season for Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table player of the week awards. He was always a runner-up, and Cate assistant David Soto, Ben’s son, called him “Susan Lucci.”

The Rams had other weapons, including Drew Anastasio, a power runner from Texas who gave up Friday night lights for Saturday afternoon sun; junior receiver Thomas Nettesheim; and two-way junior lineman Scott Holmes, one of several players whose parents are on the Cate faculty or staff.

Jack and William Deardorff, a sophomore who also is an explosive runner, live with their family in Santa Barbara. Most other students board at Cate, and their daily schedule of classes, practices, meals, study time, and lights out is regulated to the minute.

“This is one of smallest groups we’ve had,” Soto said of the 2018 football team. “It’s a sign of the times. A: Parents are concerned about concussions. B: Too many kids, in my personal opinion, don’t want to put effort into something that takes effort.”

Holmes said, “My dad wouldn’t let me play football anywhere but Cate. We learn to lead with your shoulder, not with your head, that kind of thing.”

Soto, whose office door is open to all students who want to seek his guidance, was one of 50 coaches singled out of 800 national nominees to receive the Positive Coaching Alliance’s Double-Goal Coach Award in a ceremony at Stanford University last April.

COLLEGE CUP: The road is open to the 2018 NCAA men’s soc-

cer championship. The 48-team bracket was released Monday, and 16 first-round games will be played today (Thu., Nov. 15).

Owner JOHN BURNETT

apartment most nights studying industriously for the LSAT, he had already outlined a detailed career map for himself that included a move to New York City and a corner office at a prestigious East Coast firm. But during one notably grueling study session, when the weight of principles and analytics threatened to send him over the edge, Smith made a compulsive decision that would alter the course of his life forever.

“I put my books down, walked into the kitchen, and baked a loaf of bread,” he laughed. Using a Brendan Smith and recipe he’d been carryRachel Greenspan ing around for a year, he found the process to be Open New Hangout curiously therapeutic. on Coast Village Road “There was a real science to it; the precision and

BY NINETTE PALOMA focus made me instantly obsessed.”

For Smith, the next few years would play out like a modern Jules Verne novel: the sheepish phone call to his parents relaying an unceremonious career shift, the long train ride to rural New Hampshire for a one-year baking internship on a sustainable farm, and that eventual move to New York—baking bread in the dead of winter out of an outdoor shipping container at the infamous pizzeria Roberta’s.

“Those were surreal times,” he recalled. “Four a.m. shifts in the middle of a snowstorm aren’t for everyone.”

It was there, as the newly appointed bread director for one of the country’s most esteemed pizzerias, that he would meet Rachel Greenspan, a fancy-foods specialist peddling foraged mushrooms and dry-cured salumi out of her oversize messenger bag. Together, they would make the decision to move cross-country to Santa Barbara, where temperate climates and a reverence for the handcrafted would serve as ideal environs for Bettina, their long-anticipated restaurant marrying Smith’s exacting passion for flour and yeast with Greenspan’s encyclopedic knowledge of artisanal practices.

Stepping into Bettina is not unlike visiting the home of a well-traveled friend, where Heath Ceramics dinnerware and Duralex glasses are set against a backdrop of bayouinspired wallpaper, pale-pink roman shades, and slick, French leather banquettes. A striking, horseshoe-curved

most of them would rather be focused on growing and improving their wines.

“I thought it would be a great idea to have a tasting room for these garagiste winemakers, a place where we can showcase the up-andcomers from the Central Coast,” said Amador.

“Basically, a wine collective for local wineries that most have never heard of.”

Notable winemakers with side projects to try at Crush include Two Wolves’s Alison Thompson, whose delectable L.A. Lepiane Barbera is on tap; Au Bon Climat’s Jim Adelman, who makes a great merlot under his Makor label; Jaffurs’ Stephen Searles and his Leitmotif pinot noir; and Press Gang Cellars by Stolpman’s Kyle Knapp.

Said Lisa, “We want this to be the place where people discover the next label.”

You may discover your soulmate as well, for Lisa is putting her background as a matchmaker to work. She plans to have her Amador Matchmaking singles group meet there once a month, and the couple will also offer wine education classes.

“It was really a perfect combination of our passions,” explained Michael, whose love of cooking shines on their menu, full of grilled cheeses, flatbreads, a popular cheesy pretzel, and more. The wild mushroom and truffle sacchetti is the perfect dish to get lost in, especially when paired with a robust red. These little purses enclose a savory mushroom blend and are coated in a generous blanket of sage cream.

And it’s not every day you find a wine bar with lobster rolls—on the West Coast, anyway.

Crush’s lobster sliders served warm on buttered rolls with generous portions of the star shellfish make you wonder why we don’t. “Everyone likes lobster and butter,” said Michael. “I didn’t need to add a bunch of stuff to it.” I was equally wowed by the food’s modest prices. Said Michael, “Everything in here we want to be delicious and affordable.”

As I said goodbye, the Amadors were jovially chatting with guests, and one of their new friends hollered, “See you tomorrow!” It’s clear that with their thoughtful wine selections and dedication to nurturing community, this couple has made good on their aspirations and piqued a curiosity for more.

Kitchen, I felt like a kid in a candy shop.

With a delicious menu, more than 20 inventive wines from small-batch Central Coast producers as well as kombucha and regional beer on tap, and a convivial atmosphere ripe for striking up conversation, the East Haley Street establishment made my head spin like a child entering the white gates of Disneyland for the first time.

Fortunately, Michael Amador, who owns Crush with his wife, Lisa Amador, was there to stop me from falling. After greeting me with a smile, he pointed me toward their pièce de résistance: the Napa Technology wine dispenser.

“Our system allows us to pour 20 wines and keep them all fresh,” Amador explained of the device, which uses argon gas to preserve the bevy of bottles. The only other nearby places where this technology is being used are in Buellton (though Bottlest recently closed) and Ventura, said Amador. One simply needs to buy a card, insert it into the dispenser, and press a button for either a taste, a half, or a full glass of wine.

As a wine lover who enjoys tasting and discussing before deciding on a full glass — but would prefer not to drive her server insane— this system is perfect. It also allows for a selfguided wine exploration and a chance to chat with others about their favorites.

“I want to teach people about the different varietals that are out there,” Amador explained after offering a taste of a delicious riesling from winemaker Graham Tatomer, which bucks the grape’s stereotype of being cloyingly sweet with every crisp sip.

It’s no wonder why Amador has such a smartly curated selection of wines: His 20-year career in restaurant management included jobs at top locations, such as working as a chef at San Ysidro Ranch and, most recently, serving as food and beverage director for the La Cumbre Country Club through the past decade.

“I was also the wine buyer and sommelier and was—and still am—regularly introduced to a lot of new wineries,” said Amador. “To me it was always exciting finding and offering something new that no one had heard of, and seeing eyes brighten when wowed by the quality from an unknown winery.”

He also watched many smaller producers have a hard time selling their wines due to the distribution system that rules the industry. Many distributors won’t take on winemakers who only produce a few hundred cases, so the vintners themselves must peddle their wines from restaurant to restaurant, bottle shop to bottle shop, with the hope that someone will buy them.

that Khao Kaeng by Empty Bowl Gourmet Noodle Bar has opened at 1187 Coast Village Road in Montecito, taking over the downstairs space once occupied by Here’s the Scoop, which moved upstairs.

“Khao Kaeng showcases the evolutionary Thai cuisine of Chef Nui with the brilliant reputation gained from sister restaurant Empty Bowl Gourmet Noodle Bar at Santa Barbara’s Public Market,” says the website khaokaeng.com. “In 2014, Nui with partners, Jerry Lee and Emre Balli, opened Empty Bowl bringing classic comfort traditional Thai dishes specializing in farmer’s market organic, all-natural, and free-range products. Khao Kaeng’s cuisine is expanded beyond the noodle bar but conveys the same culture of family recipes inspired from Nui’s home of Bangkok and uses the highest quality ingredients. Khao Kaeng translates to ‘Curry on Rice’ and offers unique menu items to Coast Village Road in Montecito as well as a wine cellar of over 300 bottles to complement the fiery and savory Thai cuisine.”

leavened and enrobed in a delicate tomato sauce or spread thickly with house-made ricotta. One might be topped with sherry-soaked maitakes and massaged kale, or butterball potatoes and peppery radicchio. The mozzarella? Housemade, full milk fat, and hand-pulled. “We tapped the food culture of some of our favorite cities from around the world to land on this menu,” said Greenspan, “and it was important for us to balance the familiar with the inventive.”

Smith may have traded in his dream of a corner office in Manhattan for a corner restaurant in the Montecito Country Mart, but one is apt to believe that his decision will pay off in spades.

Bettina will no doubt become one of those beloved Santa Barbara establishments where an after-work cocktail easily morphs into a threehour dinner with friends. “If you end up staying here a lot longer than you originally anticipated,” stressed Greenspan, “then you’ve done Bettina right.”

FOOD & DRINK •

Carrera marble bar encourages guests to linger, Euro-style, over an espresso and a good book.

“We want people to feel completely at ease from the moment they walk in,” Greenspan stressed.

“We take our aesthetic and presentation seriously, yes, but nobody here buys into the whole restaurant snobbery thing.”

Bettina’s singular goal of tempering wanderlust is represented through a skillfully edited menu that begins with botanically infused spritzers before launching into a dazzling arsenal of small-batch vermuts with all of the traditional Spanish fixings. (I challenge anyone not to order a second Partner vermut garnished with Castelvetrano olives and orange peel.) The food — expertly turned out small plates to be passed around a table — spotlights the region’s agricultural bounty, with offerings like roasted carrots dressed with sumac and pistachios, long slices of bread-crumb dusted zucchini, and crisped Broccolini with briny capers and shaved ricotta salata.

OPERA SANTA BARBARA’S LA BOHÈME Opera Santa Barbara brought Puccini’s perennial audience favorite La bohème to the Granada stage on Friday, November 9, in a gorgeous and beautifully sung production featuring some of the most exciting performances we’ve seen from the company. Nathan Granner’s electrifying Rodolfo occupied the center of the show’s Parisian universe, with Eleni Calenos as his romantic partner and lyrical muse Mimì.

Act One takes place in a single room on the top floor of a cold apartment building, but the story travels a long way within the confines of that small space.

From the opening bit of self-referential comedy with the playwright’s pages going up in smoke to the rollicking business of bamboozling the landlord Benoît, the happy band of Bohemians showed themselves capable of maintaining their high-spirited charm even when hungry. From there, the plot moves to the wrenching eternity of young love as Mimì enters clutching her candle and calling for a light. It’s a perfectly balanced sequence, with all the colors and emotions of young life in the city concentrated to a brilliant point.

Act Two offered a splendid opportunity for Musetta (Elle Valera) and Marcello (Luis Alejandro Orozco) to surf the cresting waves of choral magic woven by the composer in and around the Café Momus. The dazzling set and costumes gave this festive procession an extra spark of life, and the whole act was expertly choreographed for maximum impact. Acts Three and Four built on this solid foundation with even more vocal fireworks. The quartet involving the two couples was particularly memorable, and by the end, there was no escaping the sense that true love, while tragically endangered, will always thrive wherever young people gather in the city.

There is a class action lawsuit against Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (“Plains Pipeline”). The Court ordered this notice and decided that this case should be a class action on behalf of a “Class” or group of people. The Court has not decided that Plains Pipeline did anything wrong, and the parties have not reached a settlement. Rather, the case may go to trial. There is no money available now and no guarantee that there will be. Plains Pipeline has filed an appeal with the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals requesting that the Oil Industry Subclass not be allowed to move forward as a Class. Please register at www.PlainsOilSpill.com or call 1-888-684-6801 to be kept informed about the progress of this appeal.

What is this case about?

This lawsuit claims that due to the May 19, 2015 Santa Barbara oil spill, workers and businesses that support the Santa Barbara oil industry suffered financial losses with the subsequent pipeline shutdown.

Plains Pipeline denies these claims and denies it did anything wrong. The lawyers for the Class will have to prove their claims in Court.

Who’s included?

You are included in the Oil Industry Subclass if you are an individual or business who was employed or contracted to work on or to provide supplies, personnel, or services for the operations of: • Offshore oil drilling platforms: Hidalgo, Harvest, Hermosa, Heritage, Harmony, Hondo, and/or Holly, off the Santa Barbara County coast, or • Onshore processing facilities at Las Flores/POPCO, Gaviota, and/or Venoco/Ellwood, as of May 19, 2015.

Visit the website, www.PlainsOilSpill.com, for more specific information.

Who represents the Class?

The Court has appointed a group of attorneys to represent the Class as “Class Counsel.” You don’t have to pay Class Counsel or anyone else to participate. Class Counsel will seek fees and costs from the Court.

Typically, lawyers are paid a percentage of the recovery obtained on behalf of the class or that amount is separately negotiated by the parties. You may hire your own lawyer to appear in Court for you, but if you do, you have to pay that lawyer.

What are your options?

To stay in the Class, you do not have to do anything. If Plaintiffs are successful, you will be notified about how to make an individual claim for money or benefits. If you want to keep your rights to sue Plains Pipeline on your own over claims or issues in this case, you need to exclude yourself. If you exclude yourself, you cannot get money or benefits from this lawsuit if any are awarded. The deadline to exclude yourself is January 10, 2019. You can find out how to exclude yourself at the website or by calling the toll-free number.

A MUSICAL CORNUCOPIA

Dorado Schmitt & the Django Festival All-Stars

by Richie DeMaria IT’S GOOD TO BE BHAD: This Sunday at Velvet Jones (423 State St.), the hiphop wunderkind Bhad Bhabie is set to deliver a memorable show with her one-of-a-kind badassery. Since capturing the hearts of the world with her catchphrase “Cash me outside, how ’bout dah?” on Dr. Phil several years ago, the bold young Floridian has risen to become a powerful, potent rapper. With songs like “Hi Bich” and “Gucci Flip Flops,” Bhad Bhabie has endeared supporters and doubters alike with raw talent and a personality big enough to transcend cultural and internet boundaries and barriers.

With her 15 mixtape dropping earlier this year, Bhad Bhabie isn’t looking back; she’s also on the frontier of social media television. She recently announced Bringing Up Bhabie, a Snapchat reality series the likes of which our world has not yet seen. Love her or hate her, Bhad Bhabie deserves props for being unabashedly herself, especially as a young female musician.

See her Sunday, November 18, at Velvet Jones (velvet-jones.com), and see why her star power continues to grow. The show begins at 8 p.m.

The Django Festival All-Stars are the best players to come out of the Django Reinhardt Festival, led by legendary gypsy guitarist/violinist Dorado Schmitt.

While this music harkens back to the past; their interpretations, arrangements, and virtuosity bring a newness to Django’s style and take it beyond.

KEEPIN’ IT WARM WITH JOHN CRAIGIE: Few things feel better than going to a show that indirectly helps others — you get good music, and those others, through your attendance, get financial and emotional support. On Friday, November 16, 8 p.m., you can feel the glow of giving by checking out John Craigie and the Rainbow Girls at SOhO Restaurant & Music Club (1221 State St.). As part of Craigie’s #KeepItWarm2018 tour, a dollar from every ticket to the show will help raise money and item donations for Volunteers of America. With temperatures growing colder nationwide this holiday season, it’s a noble cause to support.

Craigie shines on harmonica and guitar, with a folksy slur that touches listeners deeply on songs like “I Am California.” Even folks such as the legendary actor/martial artist Chuck Norris are fans. For admirers of classic folk troubadours such as Woody Guthrie or John Prine, Craigie will appeal.

The Rainbow Girls, meanwhile, need barely an introduction to regular readers of this column. To those unfamiliar, the I.V.-grown group is easy to adore, illuminating any venue it plays with an energized mix of soulful folk and up-tempo rock.

Amélie, the musical based on the film of the same name, is a quirky, fun-filled, and gloriously contemporary show packed with great songs and opportunities for this able cast to show what they can do. The show opens with Young Amélie (played on the day I saw it by the wonderful Ember Reiter; she alternates in the role with Hattie Ugoretz) navigating the tricky relationship between her distant, germaphobe father, Raphael (Bill Egan), and her extraordinary but doomed mom, Amandine (Deborah Bertling).

t’s been quite a year for fans of the great classic rock quartet Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, particularly for those who happen to live here.

Neil Young played the Lobero for several nights over the summer, Graham Nash stopped by even more recently, and last Thursday, November 8, David Crosby took the Lobero stage with a great group of younger players known as the Lighthouse Band — Michael League, Becca Stevens, and Michelle Willis. The drummerless quartet performs richly evocative, dreamy folk rock with lots of vocal harmonies and great, sophisticated guitar work. The latter had Crosby a bit tangled up early on, but he soon settled into a groove and seemed to enjoy making droll remarks about both his misspent youth as a Santa Barbara teen and his notorious personal eccentricities ever since.

The night was broken into two sets, with the first centered on songs from Here If You Listen, the album Crosby Listen and his group released in October. Set two & ENTERTAINMENT delivered some of the numbers that made

Crosby and company among the most successful acts of the 1970s, including an exquisite “Guinevere” and a rousing one-two punch encore of Joni Mitchell’s “Woodstock” and the Kent State protest song “Ohio.” More than five decades in, David Crosby remains a force to be reckoned with in American music, and when he called on the audience to join in on the chorus to “Ohio,” it was clear what the ’60s were for, man.

Moving through renditions of pieces such as Charles Mingus’s “Nostalgia in Times Square” and Dinah Washington’s “This Bitter Earth” with ease and unaffected sophistication, theirs is a band with sizable jazz chops—you could hear it in Goldblum’s casual staccato, in the drummer Kenny Elliott’s persistent patter, and saxophonist James King’s melodic twirls.

In between, Goldblum entertained with movie trivia quizzes and quips on newfangled internet slang. But most memorable was when he shone the spotlight on the audience.

anta Barbara City College (SBCC) Dance Company’s Artistic Director Tracy Kofford welcomed 11 professional and pre-professional companies from Santa Barbara and Northern and Southern California at Presented by SBCC Dance at the the New Vic Theatre last weekend as part of the New Vic, Nov. 10. third annual Collective Collaborative.

Conformity and synchronicity emerged as common themes, with Kofford’s “Scorched Earth” stealing the show with its militaristic and powerful uniformity.

The stunning reimagined performance highlighted Kofford’s expert choreography, which physically mimicked the auditory illusion of a constantly ascending scale —the Shepard tone—so prevalent in Hans Zimmer’s score from Oscar-nominated

film Dunkirk. Breaking from the traditional multi-overlap and canonical movement of contemporary dance, the piece was creating a visual paradox that made repetitive movement new each time.

Southern California–based FUSE Dance Company’s “Fragmented” embodied the universal nature of brokenness, while Monterey-based SpectorDance’s beautiful ballet artfully conveyed the need to preserve our oceans. SBCC’s Shelby Lynn Joyce completed her dance trilogy with beautiful shapes and smart moving direction in “Prologue: A Sense of Human,” which showcased the talents of soloist Daisy Morhman.

In its third annual Collective Collaborative fall showcase, Kofford’s intention proved successful and revealed a healthy and thriving contemporary dance culture in Santa Barbara.

BOOK

MAKING HISTORY / MAKING BLINTZES

I

n this significant, clearheaded memoir, Dick and Mickey Flacks chronicle the victories and pitfalls of the postwar American Left, as lived by a couple who’ve fused their personal and political lives for 60 years and counting. In alternating passages, longtime area activ-ists trace their role in national antiwar and civil-rights organizations, and then a myriad of Santa Barbara causes.

Since a teenage meeting at a Leftist sleep-away camp — which they of course tried to reform —their morality has been rooted in a secular Judaism fueled by the Biblical prophets’ call for social justice. That goal has bridged potential contradictions. Their Communist parents struggled for unionism and civil rights and were blacklisted for their troubles.

But learning about “the crimes of Stalin” liberated these Red Diaper Babies to “restore

a radical quest for social change” and consistently embrace decentralized, participatory democracy. Anchored in family and academe, they avoided the apocalyptic path many protestors subsequently chose when frustrated by an unending Vietnam War. From fighting for affordable housing to shaping alternative media, Dick writes, “civic engagement [has been] a way to claim that your life has value.”

“I don’t think you can make good history if you don’t make good life,” Mickey Flacks added. It hasn’t always been easy — Dick was nearly killed by an unknown but likely ultra-right assailant in his University of Chicago office before the pair moved here. But, resilient and determined, their commitment has made Santa Barbara a better place to live. — Abe Peck For an interview with Dick and Mickey Flacks, see independent.com/flacks.

put the box over my head and then started pounding on it.

Who does that? But there was a guy who stood up for me.

He was a heavy-metal guy but also a good basketball player, so he had respect from the jocks. And he got on them ….

He told a teacher, and they got suspended or something. I just remembered coming home thinking: ‘Man, I hate high school. I just got boxed!’”

Jelinek: “Somehow, in the first week of my freshman year, one of [my friends] managed to upset the most typical — I mean, he was the picture of bully. He had the big Jeep, he was built like a linebacker, and he was scary. Everyone knew his name. There was no social media back then, but I remember hearing the whispers through the halls—this guy was going to beat up a group of freshmen at noon, and I was one of them. And hundreds of kids knew about it. We took off at lunch …. It took a couple of weeks of hiding out during lunch before it blew over. But there was no feeling of safety or support, mostly because there was a feeling of shame ….

The social structure is complex.”

Jelinek and Bagby hope to continue their work mentoring and speaking out against bullying and advocating for arts education, which they assert offers students healthy forms of expression and emotional outlets. The men hope that these conversations in a safe, social environment will reduce the stigma of feeling victimized and engender the empathy needed for both acting and life outside the movie set or theater. “It’s not just about teaching kids to be PC,” said Jelinek. “It’s about giving kids confidence and ways to stay creative and savvy. We want to turn it around: It isn’t about being bullied or being a victim; it’s about making the bullying behavior not cool …. With Weinstein and what happened in Hollywood—people were silent for how long?

But when people have the courage to stick up for each other, that house of cards crumbles.”

“Speaking out is an act of kindness,” Jelinek concluded.

“There’s courage behind that. That moment when you see bullying behavior, do you walk away? Or do you say something? What tools are available for kids to develop that?

That’s what we’re going to explore.” n

The View from the Edge of Modernity As latecomers to European culture, Jews gained a unique perspective on the impact of modernity on the human condition. The great 20th century Jewish thinkers —Martin Buber, Abraham Joshua Heschel, Joseph Baer Soloveitchik—each rooted their interpretations of Judaism in an insightful critique of the alienation and soullessness of contemporary life. Their insights resonate today even more than when they were first presented.

The Wild West is the operative turf here, from different angles: the sharp-dressed Buster Scruggs (Tim Blake Nelson), quick on the rhetoric and the draw; a wagontrain love-and-death vignette; a strongand-silent gold rush narrative (with grizzly Tom Waits); and an all-talk sequence encounter in a stagecoach. It adds up to that good ol’ yet new-fangled Coen bros. magic, evoking Disney gone awry, and just plain wry. (JW) Riviera

NOW SHOWING O Beautiful Boy

(120 mins., R)

As the American drug epidemic reaches unprecedented heights, director Felix van Groeningen’s Beautiful Boy, which draws from the memoirs of real fatherson pair David and Nic Sheff, feels impassioned and timely. Largely angled from a parent’s viewpoint, it follows journalist David Sheff (Steve Carell) as he watches his teenage son, Nic (Timothée Chalamet), slip into methamphetamine addiction. David desperately harnesses all of his investigative journalist skills and all of his fatherly intuition to protect his son. However, after cyclical rehabilitations and stomachchurning relapses, it becomes dreadfully obvious that Nic may be beyond his father’s reach. Throughout somewhat obscure episodic flashbacks, Chalamet is beautifully devastating as he toes the line between a young man in the throes of crystal meth dependency and a thoughtful kid yearning to live and love like he once did. His performance keeps the movie stitched together when its thread runs thin. The film raises questions it infuriatingly dances around (exactly how did Nic get addicted, for example?), but there is a power that lies in the film’s refusal to resolve the whys and hows and what-nows of a prevalent but stigmatized disease: There simply are no clear answers. Underlined by an aptly genre-bending soundtrack and the poignant recitation of a Charles Bukowski poem at the end of the credits, Beautiful Boy is effective and heartbreaking, proposing that the best we can — and must — offer those plagued by addiction is empathy and honesty. (JK) The Hitchcock

➤ O Bohemian Rhapsody (134 mins., PG-13)

Telling the tale of a beloved rock-androll enigma, especially one so notoriously private, is a daunting task, but Bohemian Rhapsody tackles Freddie Mercury’s legendary story with flourish and fervor. Admittedly, the film adopts a convenient plot line ripe with meet-cutes and oversimplifications of Mercury’s complex relationship with his family and background. It struggles the most in addressing the often-discussed queerness of Mercury’s life, at times

teetering toward bi-erasure and a lessthan-delicate portrayal of AIDS. While these issues may sound alarms with diehard Queen fans and the LGBTQ community, they fortunately do little to detract from the film’s grand instances of homage, which boast meticulous visuals and uncanny performances.

Rami Malek shines as the shy yet vivacious Queen frontman and is spellbindingly convincing during both Mercury’s loneliest hours and explosive moments on some of the world’s biggest stages.

The rest of the casting deserves a grand tip of the hat as well, with Ben Hardy, Joseph Mazzello, and Gwilym Lee playing textbook versions of Queen’s Roger Taylor, John Deacon, and Brian May as the band navigates through humble bar-scene beginnings, a meteoric rise to superstardom, and finally, their exalted Live Aid performance. Bohemian Rhapsody, for all its narrative flaws, is an earnest tribute to the iconic rock band, and remains a spectacle of sight and sound for music, Mercury, and movie fans alike. (JK) Camino Real/Metro 4 Can You Ever Forgive Me? (106 mins., R)

Melissa McCarthy is earning Oscar buzz for her portrayal of Lee Israel, who became infamous for forging letters purportedly by famous deceased writers and selling them to the highest bidder.

Soon the FBI gets wind of her antics and charges her with a federal crime. Richard E. Grant and Jane Curtin also star.

Camino Real/Metro 4

A Star Is Born (135 mins., R) Bradley Cooper marks his directing debut with an ode to the 1937 romantic melodrama A Star Is Born, famously remade in 1954 with Judy Garland and James Mason and again in 1976 with Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson. Cooper plays famous countryrock musician Jackson Maine, whose drunken search for more alcohol leads him to a drag bar where he stumbles into Ally (Lady Gaga), an unknown singer who Jackson then mentors. Soon, Ally and Jackson enter into a romantic relationship that is often overshadowed

by Jackson’s alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. As Ally takes on her self-doubt and fear of performing in front of Jackson’s sold-out crowds, she makes sacrifices in her own burgeoning career for love and authenticity. Cooper and Lady Gaga depict the rawness and erosion of their relationship so well that both actors are receiving Oscar buzz.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY by Rob Breszny ARIES

CANCER

(Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Interior designer Dorothy Draper said

(June 21-July 22): Cancerian baseball pitcher Satchel

she wished there were a single word that meant “exciting, frightfully important, irreplaceable, deeply satisfying, basic, and thrilling, all at once.” I wonder if such a word exists in the Chamicuro language spoken by a few Peruvians or the Sarsi tongue spoken by the Tsuu T’ina tribe in Alberta, Canada. In any case, I’m pleased to report that for the next few weeks, many of you Aries people will embody and express that rich blend of qualities. I have coined a new word to capture it: tremblissimo.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20): According to my astrological intuition,

you’re entering a phase when you will derive special benefit from these five observations by poet and filmmaker Jean Cocteau. (1) “There are truths that you can only say after having won the right to say them.” (2) “True realism consists in revealing the surprising things that habit keeps covered and prevents us from seeing.” (3) “What the public criticizes in you, cultivate. It is you.” (4) “You should always talk well about yourself! The word spreads around, and in the end, no one remembers where it started.” (5) “We shelter an angel within us. We must be the guardians of that angel.”

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Adolescence used to be defined as a

phase that lasted from ages 13 to 19. But scientists writing in the journal The Lancet say that in modern culture, the current span is from ages 10 to 24. Puberty comes earlier now, in part because of shifts in eating habits and exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals. At the same time, people hold on to their youth longer because they wait a while before diving into events associated with the initiation into adulthood, such as getting married, finishing education, and having children. Even if you’re well past 24, Gemini, I suggest you revisit and reignite your juvenile stage in the coming weeks. You need to reconnect with your wild innocence. You’ll benefit from immersing yourself in memories of coming of age. Be 17 or 18 again, but this time armed with all you have learned since.

WEEK OF NOVEMBER 15

and debilitating effects on you. That could empower you to make a good decision about the relationship you’ll have with it in the future.

Paige had a colorful career characterized by creative showmanship. On some occasions, he commanded LIBRA his infielders to sit down and loll on the grass behind (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “I had to learn very early not to limit him, whereupon he struck out three batters in a row myself due to others’ limited imaginations,” testifies — ensuring no balls were hit to the spots vacated by Libran astronaut Mae Jemison. She adds, “I have his teammates. Paige’s success came in part because of learned these days never to limit anyone else due to his wide variety of tricky pitches, described by author my own limited imagination.”

Buck O’Neil as “the bat-dodger, the Are those projects on your radar, two-hump blooper, the four-day Libra? I hope so. You now have HOMEWORK: What do you creeper, the dipsy-do, the Little extra power to resist being shrunk want to be when you grow up?

Tom, the Long Tom, the bee ball, the or hobbled by others’ images of Testify at Freewillastrology.com. wobbly ball, the hurry-up ball, and you. You also have extra power to the nothin’ ball.” I bring this to your help your friends and loved ones attention, Cancerian, because now grow and thrive as you expand your is an excellent time for you to amp up your charisma images of them. and use all your tricky pitches.

SCORPIO

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Everyone tells a story about them-

selves inside their own head,” writes fantasy author Patrick Rothfuss. “Always. All the time. We build ourselves out of that story.” So what’s your story, Leo? The imminent future will be an excellent time to get clear about the dramatic narrative you weave. Be especially alert for demoralizing elements in your tale that may not in fact be true and that therefore you should purge.

I think you’ll be able to draw on extra willpower and creative flair if you make an effort to reframe the story you tell yourself so that it’s more accurate and uplifting.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In describing a man she fell in love with, author Elizabeth Gilbert wrote that he was both “catnip and kryptonite to me.” If you’ve spent time around cats, you understand that catnip can be irresistible to them. As for kryptonite: It’s the one substance that weakens the fictional superhero Superman.

Is there anything in your life that resembles Gilbert’s paramour? A place or situation or activity or person that’s both catnip and kryptonite? I suspect you now have more ability than usual to neutralize its obsessive

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The U.S. is the world’s top exporter of

food. In second place is the Netherlands, which has 0.4 percent as much land as the U.S. How do Dutch farmers accomplish this miraculous feat? In part because of their massive greenhouses, which occupy vast areas of non-urbanized space. Another key factor is their unprecedented productivity, which dovetails with a commitment to maximum sustainability. For instance, they produce 20 tons of potatoes per acre, compared with the global average of nine. And they do it using less water and pesticides. In my long-term outlook for you Scorpios, I see you as having a metaphorical similarity to Dutch farmers. During the next 12 months, you have the potential to make huge impacts with your focused and efficient efforts.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “The world is like a dropped pie most of the time,” writes author Elizabeth Gilbert. “Don’t kill yourself trying to put it back together. Just grab a fork and eat some of it off the floor. Then carry on.” From what I can tell about the state of your life, Sagittarius, the metaphorical pie has indeed fallen onto the meta-

phorical floor. But it hasn’t been there so long that it has spoiled. And the floor is fairly clean, so the pie won’t make you sick if you eat it. My advice is to sit down on the floor and eat as much as you want. Then carry on.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Novelist Anita Desai writes, “Isn’t it

strange how life won’t flow, like a river, but moves in jumps, as if it were held back by locks that are opened now and then to let it jump forward in a kind of flood?”

I bring this to your attention, Capricorn, because I suspect that the locks she refers to will soon open for you. Events may not exactly flow like a flood, but I’m guessing they will at least surge, billow, and gush. That could turn out to be nerve-racking and strenuous, or else fun and interesting. Which way it goes will depend on your receptivity to transformation.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Miracles come to those who risk

defeat in seeking them,” writes author Mark Helprin.

“They come to those who have exhausted themselves completely in a struggle to accomplish the impossible.”

Those descriptions could fit you well in the coming weeks, but with one caveat. You’ll have no need to take on the melodramatic, almost desperate mood Helprin seems to imply is essential. Just the opposite, in fact.

Yes, risk defeat and be willing to exhaust yourself in the struggle to accomplish the impossible; but do so in a spirit of exuberance, motivated by the urge to play.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): “Never invoke the gods unless you

really want them to appear,” warned author G.K. Chesterton. “It annoys them very much.” My teachers have offered me related advice. Don’t ask the gods to intervene, they say, until you have done all you can through your own efforts. Furthermore, don’t ask the gods for help unless you are prepared to accept their help if it’s different from what you thought it should be. I bring these considerations to your attention, Pisces, because you currently meet all these requirements. So I say go right ahead and seek the gods’ input and assistance.

The south portion of the site has a Community Commercial (C-C) General Plan land use designation and a Highway Commercial (CH) zoning designation.

The RV Park portion of the site is located on the southern end of the property in the commercially designated portion of the site.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW FINDINGS: The proposed CUP AM are exempt from environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15061(b)(3) (No Possibility of Significant impacts). The proposed change does not have the potential to cause a significant impact on the environment as the requested change is regarding how an existing RV park is used. The RV park is not proposed to be expanded in size or scope and the primary visitors to the RV park will remain Elks Lodge members. The existing development is located within an urbanized area with commercial land use and zoning designations.

Further, the project would not alter any biological resources, transportation improvements, cultural resources, geologic, drainage, or visual resources. Therefore, given lack of any physical changes or demand changes, the project will not have a significant effect on the environment.
